The Pilates Foot Series exercise is a great exercise for strengthening the foot, ankle and calf complex. It incorporates concentric and eccentric strengthening and stretching for the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, whilst strengthening the foot muscles and challenging balance and core and pelvic stability. Therefore this exercise is useful for achilles, plantar fascia, and calf injuries
